Susan V. Plitt, Associate Director Employer Relations & Recruitment Programs, Career Center

It is not every day that internship and job seekers have employers coming to them, but for UMBC students, that day is quickly approaching.  September 28th is this year’s Fall Career & Internship Fair — one of UMBC’s large annual recruiting events. 

Over 120 employers representing corporate America, non-profits, and government agencies are expected to attend, including this year’s class of

Career Center Employer Partners:  UPS, Hershey Company, National Security Agency, Lockheed Martin, Constellation Energy, Tiber Technologies, T. Rowe Price, Nielsen, Next Century Corporation, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Allstate, Phoenix Operations Group, PayPal, Morgan Stanley, the Government Accountability Office, Consortium National Accounts, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, basys, Asymmetrik, and the U.S. Air Force.  For a full list of employers attending, please visit http://careers2.umbc.edu/calendar/fairs/fallcareerfair.php

It’s a given that the fair is a not-to-miss event for every soon-to-be graduate, but with the variety and caliber of recruiters descending on UMBC’s campus this  month, it is in reality an event relevant for everyone in the UMBC community.

The Career Center will be piloting a new program this year asking employers to identify themselves as “Freshmen Friendly.”  This designation will help our first-year students to feel more comfortable while exploring careers, learning which jobs are in demand, and identifying skills that employers look for in college hires (great information to have on-hand when plotting how to best spend the next four years).  Please encourage your first-year student to take advantage of the opportunity to casually connect and explore.

Sophomores and juniors should attend to search for employers offering internship and co-op opportunities.  Many organizations will be recruiting for summer 2017 internships at this fair!  UMBC alumni can benefit as a number of attending employers will be looking for both entry-level and experienced candidates and since, the fair is a community event, job searching parents are invited to attend the fall Career Fair, as well.

Whether for yourself or your student, you will want to sneak a peek at the list of attending employers and learn all you can about how to prepare for and make the most of the upcoming fair.  The Career Center’s website, http://careers.umbc.edu/ has all this and more!

Opportunity is about to knock on UMBC’s door (September 28^th, the RAC, 11:30 am – 3:30 pm, to be exact); everyone is invited to open it!

Fall ’16 is almost here!  Please take a moment to read our important billing news and reminders.

NEWS!

Profile Sharing

We have great news!  Profile Sharing of financial information is available!

Students can now grant access to parents/others to view their Account Inquiry (financial information on myUMBC).  This new access allows parents to view the detailed breakdown of charges on student accounts. Students also have the option of granting parents/others access electronically to call or email Student Business Services (as well as the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships) to inquire about financial matters. The Profile Sharing menu is available to students by logging into myUMBC.  Please keep in mind that Profile Sharing access is in addition to the Parent Pin access that has been available for some time and allows parents/others to view e-bills and make payments online.

BILLING REMINDERS

Fall e-bills – Avoid Late Fees

Students who registered by 7/31 received Fall e-bills on 8/1 with a due date of 8/20. If the anticipated financial aid on the e-bill is sufficient to cover the total due on the e-bill, nothing is due. If the aid is less than the total due, please be sure to pay the difference by 8/20 to avoid late fees.

Anticipated Financial Aid – Posting After 8/20

Please note that Financial aid for Fall ’16 will begin to post on 8/23, after the e-bill due date (8/20) however you do not have to worry about late fees if the anticipated aid is reflected on the e-bill AND you pay any amount not covered by the anticipated aid by 8/20.

First, Co-Create UMBC was a blog; then a MyUMBC mainstay, a Twitter account, and a Facebook page. Its purpose: empower UMBC's co-creators (all of us!), in part by making the UMBC community visible to itself. We've shared profiles of UMBC community members, opportunities to get involved and play leadership roles, reflections grounded in our own stories and experiences, and lots of photos.

For the coming year, we're making more changes than ever before. We're going to make the familiar strange, and the strange familiar. We're going to start some exciting conversations. Join us!
